All our thoughts at Hungerford Town are with the Royal Family at this time
Full National League Statement
Firstly, the National League sends sincere condolences of all Member Clubs on the
passing of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II to His Majesty King Charles III and the
further Royal Family.
Further to this morning’s statement by Debbie Hewitt, chair of The Football
Association, all National League System, FA Trophy, and grassroots fixtures
scheduled for this weekend will not take place as a mark of respect. The Queen was
the FA’s patron, and Prince William is its President.
At this moment National League fixtures will go ahead as planned from Monday 12
September onwards although we understand no sporting event of any kind will be
permitted on the day of The Queen’s funeral.
The decision to postpone this weekend’s fixtures is taken in line with guidance from
the FA in consultation with the Department for Culture, Media and Sport. The
League fully supports this stance.
